- Help Agent
Displays a small window in the lower-right corner of your OpenOffice.org program when a task you're currently performing might be better done another way or when additional information about what you're doing may be of some assistance to you. If you click the Help Agent's window, the extra help appears in a window that you can read for more details.NOTEThe Help Agent works a lot like Microsoft Office's animated Clippit assistant but is far less obtrusive and annoying!
